A Carrot for The Restless Supermarket by Ivan Vladislavic
Verdict: carrot
After reading Double Negative recently by Ivan Vladislavic, I was very eager to read the re-launch of an older novel, The Restless Supermarket. Once again Vladislavic writes about Jo’burg and the many changes it has undergone in recent times. Reading it left me with no doubts about Vladislavic’ skills as a writer. What that man can do with the English language leaves me breathless at times; I am either stunned into pure awe or laughing so hard (inside) that I can’t breathe! This book is a definite treasury for proofreaders, or anyone interested in/involved with the publishing industry, as well as logophiles in general. For me, having done proofreading at Uni and being in possession of that healthy dose of anal retentiveness required for proofreading, I really had a fun time reading it. For people who can’t stand being corrected, perhaps this isn’t the book for you.
